Dear Representative, I am writing as a constituent to urge you to support and prioritize legislation to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits. These enhanced tax credits have made health insurance affordable for millions of Americans by lowering monthly premiums and reducing the number of uninsured people. Families, seniors, small business owners, and workers across the country rely on these credits to access preventive care, manage chronic conditions, and avoid crushing medical debt. Allowing these credits to expire would result in sharp premium increases for millions of people, forcing many to drop coverage entirely. This would not only harm individual families but also strain hospitals, increase uncompensated care costs, and destabilize insurance markets, outcomes that are preventable with timely congressional action. Affordable health care is not a luxury; it is a basic necessity. The ACA premium tax credits have proven effective in expanding coverage, improving health outcomes, and strengthening economic security. Extending them is a practical, fiscally responsible step that directly benefits constituents in every district, regardless of political affiliation. As a member of the House of Representatives, you have the power to protect this progress. I urge you to: Support legislation that permanently extends the ACA premium tax credits. Oppose any budget or policy proposals that would weaken or eliminate these subsidies. Publicly affirm your commitment to affordable, accessible health care for all constituents. This issue affects real people right now. I ask that you act without delay and make clear where you stand on protecting affordable health coverage.
